LYRICS – Control

Lost

Falling down into a pit Dark maze with no way out Looking for that shred of evidence That would prove it all

Lost the sight, that would bring light Loose that feeling Give in to it and it leaves you In an all-time low

My sole and solemn purpose Is it just to bring and get delight? That feeling I am and must be right I just don’t and do I want to know?

Looking for that shred of evidence That would prove it all Lost the sight and bring light I try to get out

One Chance

I shall decide what is good or bad I will take what is mine Time will tip the scales

The devil may take care of its own I will take care of mine

One chance to take care of my own Plans made, hearts broken Dreams faded, created

I shall decide what is good or bad I will take what is mine Time will tip the scales

The devil may take care of its own I will take care of mine

Chances may have passed before my eyes My life at faith’s grips My turn in time

Angel

In my hour of need She will always be there To show me the act of deliverance

She is my angel She will always protect me

When I despair She will show me Give me the faith to believe in me

When I am in doubt

Creeping

Wondering what the day may bring Still wondering at first light Life promised so much to be Quiet it does seem to me

Waited for a moment to be What all expected of me It has all gone away Quiet feeling of dismay

Twisting, turning, restless fury It wants to be free Rattling the chains, chains that cage me It wants to be free

Wondering late till early light Feeling that something isn’t right They have all gone away Creeping feeling of dismay

Defined by Action

What have we become To be like this Ruled by what is fed to me Knowledge selected Something is wrong My conscience says there is Nice to know I can switch it off

I’m not getting anywhere I’m not taking any risks Who cares? I’m going to live forever

I’m not getting anywhere I’m not taking any risks Who cares? ’Cause I will live forever

Nothing happens in my life So all must be well I watch images pass me by I feel better already Something is wrong My conscience says there is Nice to know I can switch it off

I’m not getting anywhere I’m not taking any risks Who cares? I’m going to live forever

In my mind I am an island on my own My life of perfect misery I enjoy that of others

What have we become To be like this Ruled by what is fed to me Knowledge selected

In my mind I am alone

Drained

Chains I break No time to waste Goals to make No time to wait

Pull and hold me down Struggling to beat the better I will not hold, I won’t stop I’ll rage and race forever

Raging on Stop at none Life awaits I’ll sleep when I’m dead

Hurdles I take It’s make or break I’ll sleep when I’m dead No time to lose

I stand alone

People surround me, but they don’t care to know So I am lord and master of all that is my own All is done in my belief, within my might All else that happens is not my fight

Words made hollow, a world made shallow Mine is the pledge, but now I feel, I’ve lost the edge

I stand alone in this cold life

So much is there to make mine Many mountains left to climb Conviction, by vision made whole It’s perfection in a glass bowl The drive, which pushed me on, to make it on my own Slowly fading…, slowly grinding to a halt

I stand alone

Lines I write

I trust in you For you are who I am Comforts me, one step beyond

This book my life Tattered though it may be Keeps me alive Wisdom of old

My story, my conclusion This book is my redemption

These lines I write Where they lead I do not know But this is my book, my heart

Reckoning it will follow in the next book Turn the pages of my life

Perfect Days

Turn of times and ways apart The beginning, means of a new start Didn’t we have perfect days? Spent in blessed ways

Smile spent on good times Wish to be together Those were the days Those were our ways

Do you ever look back? Or am I the only one? Seven bad years, seven good years Knowing now the good years have begun

Smile spent on good times Wish to be together Those were the days Those were our ways

Those were the days Those were our ways

Play

Play the ball Play the game of life I see it everyday I hear it all the time A twisted game we play Right and wrong has blended No ref(eree) attending No goals to be defended

Don’t understand the reason I’ve never seen, seen such darkness I’ve never heard such silence I’ve never felt so lost

Don’t understand the reason I’ve never seen, seen such darkness I’ve never heard such silence I’ve never felt so alone

Black day

Today is a black day I heard a whisper of times passed And so a journey ends

The soul has gone A fading of light And so a journey ends

You touched my life Beyond fear and loneliness And so a journey ends

Risen to the heights Passed through the lows And so a journey ends

I feel so lost Afraid and all alone And so a journey ends

Find guiding light In memories that remain And so a journey ends

So I feel no loss For the memory stays And so a journey ends

Today was a black day I heard a whisper of times passed And so a journey begins

Control

Hey friend check this I don’t agree with you I never have and never will Our views don’t mix Nothing to fix

Just realized this is not how I want it to be Just realized I am losing control

Seem to be losing it Losing it all Seems like anger is overtaking us all I am losing, losing control I am losing, losing control

Hey babe check this I’m tired of trying Feeding all this living and lying Our lives don’t mix Nothing to fix

Hey, check this I’m tired of this anger breeding It’s time to take control It’s time to take control
